Welcome to the science communication module of your summer ACCESS program! Let’s begin by meeting one of your instructors for this module, Dr. Sara Yeo!
An Introduction to Prof. Yeo
I hope you are all well given the circumstances. I was looking forward to interacting with you in-person this summer but due to the coronavirus pandemic, the ACCESS program has moved online and will mostly be asynchronous. We will have a chance to get together virtually so you can ask questions (on July 29).
I’m Dr. Yeo and I’m an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication. I am an expert in survey research and experiments. I primarily conduct research in science communication and you can check out some of my work here. Currently, I am working on research about science humor, which is funded by the National Science Foundation.
I can also be found on Twitter and more information (and my CV) is available on my faculty page. If you’re interested in science communication research or have any questions (even after this course is completed), please get in touch (sara.yeo@utah.edu).
And… since you’ll probably meet her on Tuesday (she likes to be involved in Zoom calls), meet my cat, Boomz:
